We went for Rhyan's head scan today and got some GREAT news! Her head has gone from 18.9mm difference (from one side to the other) to 12.2mm. This is EXCELLENT! They said she'd probably need to wear it another 6-8 weeks full time and then we could go to only at night for 2 months or so. Of course, this all depends on her growth in the next 6 weeks. Wearing it at night would be to make sure it doesnt get flat again. At around 10 months, they feel certain that her head would be hard enough that even if she continues sleeping w/ her head turned to the right, it'll stay round.
Her neck has hit somewhat of a standstill. She is not making it past 80 degrees and Courtney is concerned with that. She still struggles to get to 80 degrees. So Courtney encouraged us to work HARD on home therapy. It's SO hard to do that b/c she just cries (mostly out of frustration) and it's hard to get her to calm down afterwords. But we're going to have to do it, i guess, and see if that helps. Otherwise, she is concerned that her muscle could be getting fibrotic. Lets hope not. So please keep praying about her neck and that we would continue working with her. But for today, we are praising our Father for the great news about her head! Rhayn and I are both so happy! Theres a new post below from Halloween, too!

YAY! I really hope Rhyan doesn't need surgery, but if she does, I can now say it really isn't bad. The anticipation was horrible but the "recovery" if you want to call it that was a breeze!! She was 100% back to normal the day after. But let's hope she doesn't need that. :) Yay for her little head I want to see the scan!
